stlspartan Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I saw this on the board and it looks beautiful but I'm not sure what it is; basketball facility? For some reason it reminded me of the MSU football building. Campus architecture is fantastic these days. Quote Link to comment
slynn1324 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I believe that is a rendering of the new haymarket arena to be built and future basketball facility. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.... Quote Link to comment
stlspartan Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Ah, well - if it's only proposed, then check this out: Quote Link to comment

stlspartan Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 What? Well, it should go without saying that it was "proposed" by a poster on the spartantailgate message board, because the idea is batshi* crazy. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFanChuck Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Agreed that it's the rendering of Haymarket Arena as it's been referred to for now. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The arena itself isn't proposed, it's already been voted on and passed. They are building a 16,000 seat Basketball arena in Haymarket Park and it should be completed in 2013. However, what is proposed is that image of the arena rendering, the design isn't final yet.

stlspartan Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 It looks spectacular - the B10 plays some good basketball so you'll see some great games there. You might have a harder time winning the conference in hoops though. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here is what Nebraska is currently building and is about to begin building for athletic upgrades. Haymarket Arena (proposed design) New Basketball/Wrestling practice facility New Baseball practice facility Memorial Stadium Expansion Volleyball Arena (Only College Volleyball specific arena in the US with Skyboxes) http http Quote Link to comment

HuskerFanChuck Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The Haymarket work is proceeding. Far as I know, the actual building hasn't started, but they had a lot of dirt moving and railroad track moving to be done before they could actually start the building, as I recall. The East Stadium project is well under way, and if I recall correctly, is to be completed by the 2013 football season, and the arena is to be done for the '13-'14 basketball season as well. The Volleyball team won't move into the renovated Devaney Center until '14, but then, that work won't start until the basketball team is done in '12-'13, and maybe after that, depending on what they have scheduled for the facility. But that will be a very nice facility for Volleyball... 7K plus, as I recall, lowered ceiling, skyboxes, all for the V-Ball team. We're working, slowly but surely, towards very nice facilities for all the athletic teams. The soccer team has had a nice field for a few years now, right next to the stadium. The baseball and softball parks are only 10 years old. Most recent renovation of Memorial Stadium will leave only one endzone to be renovated. Volleyball has a nice facility, nice new flooring that only two teams in the nation have, and that can be transported to the new facility. New training area for the baseball team (well on its way to being completed, drive by there every day). Pretty exciting time to be a Huskers sports fan! And as I recall (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but isn't the new basketball practice facility already completed by Devaney? I know the outside looks quite finished, and I thought we were using it as a selling point for new recruits already in terms of its completion. Quote Link to comment
